Baked Apple Chips

A crispy, kid-friendly snack they can even help make! Preheat oven to 200F. Slice apples very thin, about 1/16 of an inch. Arrange on lined thick-bottomed baking sheet, making sure that none overlap. Bake for 1 hour, flip slices, then bake for one more hour. (I'll probabaly sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon on mine!!). Remove from oven and let cool to crisp. Store in an airtight container.

Apple & Pear Slices That Don't Brown

Those packages of pre-sliced apples you can buy at store are great for a healthy snack on the go but the price can add up. Make your own by slicing apples, soak in cold water for 3-5 minutes, then soak in a lemon-lime carbonated soda (such as 7-up or sprite) for 3-5 minutes. Divide into snack size portions and store in Ziploc bags in the fridge. The lemon-lime soda will keep the apples from browning and make them last. Will have to try
